Kang Mea Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia Abstract: Introduction: Coaches have the responsibility in guiding the athletes to be successful in their sports performance by helping them to improve their skills. One of the factors that may influence athletes to perform at their optimal level is their beliefs in their coaches ability to guide them during training and competition. Factors such as playing experience and coaching education/course may play a part in the ability of coaches in guiding their athletes. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between coaches' level of playing experience and coaching courses attended with coaching efficacy among Malaysian youth coaches. Methods: A total of 323 coaches who coached in SUKMA 2012 (sports event that involved young athletes between the age 19 to 21 years old) were selected through purposive sampling participated in this study. Coaching Efficacy Scale (CES) questionnaire was used to measure the coaches coaching efficacy. Results: Overall, Malaysian youth coaches showed that their level of coaching efficacy were high for all the subscales namely character building (M = 7.97, SD =.64), motivation (M = 7.91, SD =.58), technique (M = 7.91, SD =.64) and game strategy (M = 7.84, SD =.60). Furthermore, coaches who have played for high level such as at national level showed that they were skilful in motivating their athletes (p<.05) and in inculcating positive attitude towards their athletes character building (p<.05). Similarly, coaches who have attended higher level of coaching courses showed that they have the ability to motivate their athletes during competition (p<.05). In addition, multiple regression showed that both level of coaching courses attended and level of playing experience can predict the overall coaching efficacy (F (6, 316) = 14.76, p<0.001). Conclusion: In conclusion, coaches who have higher level for both playing experience and coaching course may demonstrate better coaching efficacy in guiding their athletes and hence are able to lead their athletes to a successful performance.

  • Silat Martial Ritual Initiation in Brunei Darussalam
    Southeast Asia: A Multidisciplinary Journal, Vol 14, 2014, pp 1–13 © FASS, UBD Silat martial ritual initiation in Brunei Darussalam Gabriel Facal Institut de recherches Asiatiques (Aix-Marseille Université) Abstract Almost no research has been done on the silat martial ritual initiations developed in Brunei even though silat continues to be a main cultural marker of the sultanate and it is recurrent in legendary narratives as well as in contemporary local film productions. For Bruneian people, the image of silat is also conveyed by the multitude of Malaysian and Indonesian movies they can watch. Therefore the upheavals that silat has endured since the inception of the sport’s federation in the 1980’s have challenged the possibility of local silat groups keeping alive their practice, structure and organization. These evolutions also reflect certain conflicts in the Bruneian cultural policy, as the government seeks to promote a traditional cultural heritage while at the same time transforming its content to match an alternative ideological discourse. Introduction Martial ritual initiations have spread widely across the so-called Malay world (for debate about this notion, see Barnard, 2004), and have been extensively documented. For example, Maryono (2002) describes pencak and silat in Indonesia, De Grave (2001) deals with pencak in Java, Facal (2012) focuses on penceu in Banten, Wilson (2002) analyzes penca in West Java, and Farrer (2012) considers silat in Malaysia. However, there has been less coverage of the situation in Brunei. This discrepancy can be explained by the secrecy surrounding the transmission and integration of the practice in a wide and complex set of transmission frames, based on an authority structure which refers to local cosmology and religious values.

    ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS TABLE OF CONTENTS WELCOME 1 SCOREBOARD 2 THE 8 PLAYS 7 CALL FOR LEADERSHIP 24 GAME CHANGER 26 The Children & Youth Fund IDEAS 28 APPENDICES 30 ENDNOTES 34 The Aspen Institute thanks Under Armour for its support of this report and Project Play: Baltimore THE VISION A Baltimore in which all children have the opportunity to be active through sports WELCOME Baltimore has a rich history of developing its children and communities through sports, from the early days of Babe Ruth, to the proliferation of recreation centers in the 1960s and ’70s, to the rise of the most decorated Olympian in history, Michael Phelps. Sports are baked into the DNA of this unique city. The Aspen Institute aims to help Baltimore tell its best sports story yet. Project Play: Baltimore, our first model community effort, will identify and facilitate opportunities for leaders to grow the quality and quantity of youth sport opportunities. Our specific focus is on a two-square-mile area of East Baltimore (see map on page 4), where Under Armour helped renovate a recreation center in 2016 and asked us to assist stakeholders throughout the area – so lessons can be learned and shared with other communities around the city and the country. This report offers an assessment of the current state of play for kids and sports in the area. Our work is anchored in the notion that all stakeholders will benefit if all youth are provided access to a quality sport experience. We know this from the body of research that has emerged over the past decade establishing the myriad benefits of physical activity.

Malaysian Journal of Movement, Health & Exercise, 9(1), 89-101. https://doi.org/10.15282/mohe.v9i1.404 Link to this article: https://doi.org/10.15282/mohe.v9i1.404 Abstract This is an epidemiological study on injuries and illnesses among Sabah SUKMA athletes in 2018. This study was done retrospectively using a standardized data registry. Incidence of injuries and illnesses were 16.27 and 16.74 per 100 athletes, respectively. Combat sports showed the highest incidence of injuries (45%), mainly involving the head and neck region. Common injuries included muscle strains and ligament sprains. The concussion rate was 1.85 per 100 full contact athletes. Time loss percentage was 1.4%. There were no reports on any severe head injuries or severe concussions. This could be due to the strict implementation of protective gear during competitions. The concussion rate was lower compared to many other international studies. Muscle strains was seen more in high speed sprinting and kicking athletes. The most significant illness affecting Sabahan athletes was an isolated case of mumps. However, contact tracing was activated immediately and there were no reported Mumps outbreaks among Sabahan athletes.
